What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
I thought it was clear that I am a manufacturer.  My apology to the OP if that was not clear. I am not sure why I am not listed as a manufacturer as Audiogon knows that I am a manufacturer as I have registered as a manufacturer. Henry

arctikdeth,Different stroke for different folks I guess.

Dsper,I have witnessed class D driving Thiel SC5 which belongs to a dear friend.  And It has no problem of driving the Thiel at all and sounds fantastic.  My friend own Krell FPB600.  I also know a customer who has the Kappa 9 and he likes his cla... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Thank you Erik for starting this thread. Since I am a manufacturer and of Class D at that. Therefore, I am obviously biased. So I think my comments isn’t worth much and rightly so I suppose. Anyway, I won’t get into endless debate on the technical...

Hi John,Thanks very much for the tip on the microphone and the software. I will check it out.  Sorry you have to give back the Scintillas.Erik, Agreed. The room plays a big part as well and among other things.Kenny, Looking forward to your review,...

Erik,Just to add a bit about the Scintillas. Sure, they are closer to a short over the entire audio frequency spectrum than any other speakers to date. It is not that hard to design a conventional linear class A amp to deal with that which I have ...

Kenny,Unfortunately, I am not very well equipped with instruments to perform such tasks.Henry

John,It is very rare to find a Scintillas owner.  Are you located in Texas? Henry

Erik,There is no misunderstanding at all and I apologize for my writing not being very clear at times. I understood completely what you asked, and that is you want to see is the real frequency response plot of the amp while driving such a load and...

John,Thanks for asking George that question as I forgot and really very puzzled as to where he got that from.Henry

Hi Erik,I will elaborate at a later time since I lost all 3 pages which I wrote, seriously. But very briefly, I am not asking you to believe anything I say of course! until you hear it. In fact, I don't want anyone to take anything I say as gospel... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Hi Erik,Well, It is not rated doesn’t mean it can not drive it. It is just that the designer didn’t test it with such a load. The same goes for the NCore. And to be fair, Apogee is no more for many many years and very few own the 1 ohm scintillas....

Hi Kenny,Just to be clear so that there is no misunderstanding that I am not here to advertise my product.  I am the manufacturer of the H2O AUDIO amps as some of you here know.  But since you are asking, for over 10 years I have used the icepower...

"The only negatives to class d is driving the exotic speakers,the ones that drop below 3ohms."Kenny,I believe it is all about system synergy and listener's preferences.  I have class D driving the Apogee Scintillas just fine.  The Scintillas's imp... 
Class D = Trash?
Tim,"Hi Ho".  After I realized how goofy that sounded, I told him his  new American name would be "Henry" .  LOL! That is very funny. Speaking of which there are a pair of the Nord monoblocks NC500 for sale right now on Agon. Fund is very limited ...
